… you’re an artist with a vision and a background in civil engineering who learns about a beautiful building back home, waiting to be demolished because it was heavily damaged in an earthquake? You build a great installation in it as an “Hommage to The Lost Spaces”. I love this idea, how awesome would it be to find works like these in/on/around the ruins of buildings all over the world… In an urban world, it would add some color. In the countryside, it would make us nostalgic for the past days in which it was thriving. And in general: remind us of the losses & sadness that comes with decay and desolation.

DesignTaxi: “The watch explores the actual trend of digital downtime, taking as a starting point that time is the new luxury. It raises questions on whether social networks and email contribute to social isolation, and leave us very little time for real interaction.”

// Knitting is back, that is obvious, and Magda Sayeg is one of those people who makes us realize it should’ve never left. She is also known under the name “Knitta”, whose yarn bombing has got major attention in cities like New York, Rome, all the way to Sydney and back, which infected others with the bombing-jitters and it grew out to a whole phenomenon in itself. Knitta’s big projects try to add some color in the otherwise often grey urban environment, with the right stitches in the right places. Go to her website for more pictures and visit her blog to learn everything about her projects first hand.

// Now you can dress yourself up in a little bit of Knitta! Sunglasses belong to winter too, no matter what anyone says. Order your Knitta-edition sunglasses now at sunglasshut.com and shine the whole winter long like the sun that we then crave so badly!
